Staff Application Security Engineer

Staff Application Security Engineer Remote Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we’re pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential. About Agility Robotics Agility Robotics is pioneering the field of humanoid robots, designing systems like Digit to safely and adaptively work alongside people in environments built for people, such as logistics and manufacturing. Our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling by delivering robots with advanced mobility, intelligence, and efficiency. To support this rapid scaling, we are currently managing massive growth, expanding our robot fleet from 100 to 1,000 and growing our staff from 300 to 500. This expansion is critical to capitalizing on the humanoid robot market, which is projected to reach $15.3 billion by2030. Our flagship product is the bipedal robot Digit (currently v4), which handles payloads up to 35 pounds, and our cloud-based platform, Agility Arc , which allows businesses to deploy, monitor, and scale robot fleets. About The Role As a Staff Application Security Engineer, you will be crucial in integrating security controls directly into our software development lifecycle (SDLC). This role is vital for reducing the exposure of proprietary code and minimizing application-layer vulnerabilities within our robot software, cloud platform (Agility Arc), and internal tools, thereby preventing expensive, post-deployment incidents. You will join a growing Security and Networking team focused on securing a tenfold increase in our network and application attack surface, while preparing the company for external compliance initiatives like SOC2 and ISO27001. Key Responsibilities Security Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Integration: Drive the implementation of security practices throughout the entire software development process, from design review through deployment. Application Security Testing: Perform offensive penetration testing and defensive (Blue Team) testing on web applications, internal services, and robot-side software to identify and remediate vulnerabilities. Automation and Tooling: Implement and manage security tools, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST) or Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) or runtime vulnerability assessments, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) systems. Implementation of these systems using tools such as JFrog Artifactory, GitHub Advanced Security, Datadog, Wiz or Snyk. Code Review and Governance: Define and enforce security policies for source code, including mandatory GitHub security practices and review procedures. Vulnerability Management: Manage the lifecycle of identified vulnerabilities, prioritizing remediation efforts based on risk to the fleet, proprietary code, and cloud infrastructure. Collaboration: Partner with development, platform, and infrastructure teams to ensure security requirements are met without hindering engineering velocity. Required Qualifications 8+ years of dedicated, hands‑on experience in Application Security (AppSec) engineering or a related Staff‑level security role. Demonstrated expertise in Application Security engineering with programming skills. Proven hands‑on experience implementing security controls in CI/CD pipelines and source control systems (e.g., GitHub, GitLab). Experience with penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and offensive and defensive security (Red Team/Blue Team) practices. Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Go, C++). Strong understanding of security best practices for cloud‑native, microservice, and distributed systems architecture. Experience with cloud security such as AWS or GCP. Kubernetes experience integrating security controls into K8s environments. Experience leading and mentoring security engineers. Preferred Experience Experience in a rapidly scaling organization (IoT or robotics experience is a plus). Experience with AI for coding (such as Claude Code) or AI for application security protection (such as AI in security tooling) is a plus. This is a fully remote role with the option to work hybrid if a commutable distance from our Salem, OR, Pittsburgh, PA, or Fremont, CA offices. Anticipated Base Salary Range
